IMPACTS UPDATE - COVID-19

Bosch’s No. 1 priority is the safety of its customers, associates and partners. The jobs done by our customers are essential, however, so it is essential that we do our jobs as well – in as safe and responsible a way as we can. It is our aim to be as transparent as possible about any changes or disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. So this is a place where Bosch Tools will share information about customer service operations, service centers, facilities, shipping, distribution and more.

CURRENT UPDATE

5/27/2020 Update – All Service Centers Are Fully Operational

As of today, all four of our Service Centers are fully operational and are operating under their normal work hours. They are open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm local time. As a reminder, these service centers are located in Addison, Illinois; Anaheim, California; South Plainfield, New Jersey; and Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
During this time, we have introduced limited contact drop-off and pickup. The drop-off instructions are available at each location. Each has a drop zone for tools to be repaired and a pickup zone for completed repairs. Three pieces of information are needed for the process: the model number (which is on the tool), the serial number (also located on the tool) and when the tool was purchased. The number to call when you arrive at the location will be posted. For more information, call 1-877-Bosch99 (1-877-267-2499)
Bosch's No. 1 priority is the health and well-being of our customers, associates and partners. At our service facilities, we continue to follow CDC and government protocols, so we can ensure that our employees work in a safe environment.
